Non-Profit Video

Girls on the Run is a nonprofit organization in Chicago that educates and prepares girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. They came to Delack Media Group, wanting us to produce a video for their upcoming fundraiser event. The video’s purpose was to use soundbites from their staff and those who were part of the training program to communicate the organization;s mission and impact on its participants.

Here is the promotional video we produced for them:

Here is how the video appeared on their branded YouTube channel:

We broke the full video into two smaller segments:

We took their logo and animated it. The concept was to make the logo run across the screen and reveal all the letters around the logo to match the music score we had chosen:

Each year, Bethany Methodist Communities hosts a fundraising event for their Good Samaritan Fund. Bethany Methodist Communities is a nonprofit, non-sectarian organization that manages: Methodist Hospital Chicago; Partners in Healthcare, which is a licensed home care service; and several senior living communities, including: Bethany Retirement Community (Chicago, Illinois), Chestnut Square at The Glen (Glenview, Illinois), Terrace Gardens (Morton Grove, Illinois), and The Bethany Terrace (Morton Grove, Illinois).

The Good Samaritan Fund helps subsidize costs for residents who are otherwise unable to afford the care they need. Bethany Methodist enlisted the help of Delack Media Group to produce a series of videos that were shown at their fundraising event. With a video crew of four people, we captured interviews at their facilities from several residents, family members of residents, and staff members. Here is one of the vignettes that were shown:

In addition to the video production, Delack Media Group handled all of the AV (audio visual) support for the fundraising event, which was held at the Holiday Inn Skokie. We had two 4’11″x8’9″ rear projection truss screens with black trim kit displaying the video and full screen graphics, multiple wireless microphones, a live audio technician, event director & producer, and a tape-based High Definition camera to videotape the entire event.

BENNU Legal Services is a nonprofit legal aid agency that works with suburban-based immigrants, as well as businesses, to build stronger and healthier communities. With their annual fundraiser just around the corner, (instead of using the typical photo brochure) they wanted to make a bigger impact on their donors. They contacted us to produce a video that would use soundbites from their clients and staff members.
